Technical problem
The wire harness is manufactured through a series of manufacturing steps including accommodating the electric wires in the protector. More specifically, the wire harness is generally manufactured by mounting a plurality of electric wires and various wiring members (e.g., protectors, grommets, clips, and the like) mounted to the electric wires on a dedicated work table (i.e., a jig plate, and the like). However, since there are various electric wires and wiring members constituting the wire harness, the wire harness is generally manufactured on a plurality of work tables through a plurality of manufacturing steps.
In these manufacturing processes, in the case where the electric wire (the wire harness in the manufacturing process) to which the protector is mounted is moved from one work stage to another, in order to prevent the protector from being separated from the electric wire, the cover is usually mounted to the protector body of the conventional protector before the electric wire is moved. In other words, the mounting of the cover to the protector body (accommodating the electric wires in the protector) is generally done on each work table.
Therefore, because of the complicated structure of the wire harness or the like, as the number of times of performing the movement between the tables increases, the number of the protectors mounted to the wire harness also increases. However, in view of workability in manufacturing the wire harness, wiring performance in mounting the manufactured wire harness to a vehicle or the like, manufacturing cost of the wire harness, and the like, it is desirable that the number of the protectors is as small as possible.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a protector for a wire harness, which can reduce the number of protectors required for the wire harness, and a method for manufacturing a wire harness using such a protector.
Solution to the problem
In order to achieve the above object, a protector for a wire harness according to the present invention has the following features (1) to (4).
(1)
A protector (10) for a wire harness, which is a protector for such a wire harness: the wire harness includes a body portion (11) for defining a plurality of paths through which electric wires (1) constituting the Wire Harness (WH) can pass, a wire holding portion (12) for holding the electric wires, and a covering portion (13) for covering the body portion (11) and the wire holding portion (12), characterized in that:
the body portion includes, as a plurality of paths, a first path and a second path which are separated by a partition wall, and further includes a first side wall opposite to the partition wall, and a second side wall opposite to the partition wall, the first path being interposed between the partition wall and the first side wall, the second path being interposed between the partition wall and the second side wall, and
the electric wire holding portion (12) includes a holder (41) that can be disposed to pass through an upper side of the first path (31) and extend from the first side wall (21) toward the partition wall (23), an engaging piece (42) that can be disposed to pass through a lower side of the second path (32) and extend from the partition wall (23) toward the second side wall (22), and an intermediate piece (43) that connects the holder (41) and the engaging piece (42), and is fixed to the body portion (11).
(2)
The protector for wire harness according to the above (1), wherein
The partition wall includes a communication portion communicating the first path and the second path, and
the intermediate member can be arranged to block the communicating portion.
(3)
The protector for wire harness according to the above (2), wherein
The body portion includes a third path into which the first path and the second path merge, and
the partition wall includes a communication portion at a position away from a merging position between the first path and the second path.
(4)
The protector for wire harness according to any one of the above (1) to (3), wherein
The electric wire holding portion is configured such that the holder is rotatably connected to the first side wall via the hinge portion, and the engaging member includes an engaging portion engageable with the second side wall, and
the body portion includes an engaged portion corresponding to the engaging portion.
According to the wire harness having the configuration of the above (1), after a part (the first electric wire group) of the plurality of electric wires forming the wire harness is accommodated in the first path of the protector, the first electric wire group accommodated in the first path may be held by the holder of the electric wire holding portion, which passes through the upper side (the side close to the covering portion) of the first path if the electric wire holding portion is fixed to the protector. Therefore, unlike the conventional protector, the electric wire group accommodated in the first path can be held without mounting the cover part to the body part. Further, at this time, since the engaging piece of the electric wire holding portion is disposed to pass through the lower side (the side away from the covering portion) of the second path, the second path is held in a state capable of accommodating the electric wire. In other words, since the first path accommodates and holds the electric wire (first electric wire group) and the second path is held in a state capable of accommodating the electric wire (second electric wire group), the wire harness can be moved from one work stage to another work stage during the manufacturing process without mounting the cover portion to the body portion (i.e., without finally accommodating the electric wire in the protector).
Further, for example, on another work table having a destination, after another part (the second electric wire group) of the plurality of electric wires is accommodated in the second path so as to pass through the upper side of the engaging piece, the second electric wire group accommodated in the second path may be held by the cover portion if the cover portion is mounted and fixed to the body portion.
In this way, according to the protector for the wire harness having this configuration, it is not necessary to mount the protector to each of the work tables. Therefore, the number of the protectors required for the wire harness can be reduced as compared with the case where the protector is finally mounted to each work table as in the conventional protector.
Sometimes, in a case where the wire holding portion for holding the electric wire accommodated in the first path and the wire holding portion for holding the electric wire accommodated in the second path are regarded as separate members (which are independent of each other), although it is not necessary to mount the protector to each of the tables, engaging portions for fixing to the body portion are provided on the wire holding portions, respectively, and engaged portions corresponding to the engaging portions are provided on the body portion. Therefore, compared with the protector for the wire harness having this configuration, the number of the engaging portions and the engaged portions increases when the holding portion is regarded as the plurality of the disengaging members. Since the engaging portion and the engaged portion are increased in this way, the capacity of the path for holding the electric wire is reduced, and the number and kinds of electric wires that can be accommodated in the path are reduced. Therefore, the protector for a wire harness having this configuration has an advantage that the capacity of the path in the protector can be used to the maximum extent, as compared with the case where a plurality of electric wire holding portions are provided in the path, respectively.
According to the protector for a wire harness having the configuration of the above (2), a part of the electric wire holding portion (the intermediate member) is provided to block the cut-out portion (the communicating portion) formed in the partition wall, and the intermediate member becomes a part of the partition wall. Therefore, compared with the case where the communicating portion is not present in the partition wall and the entire intermediate member is provided in the path (the first path or the second path), the amount of projection of the intermediate member to the path becomes small, and the capacity of the path increases. As a result, the number and kinds of wires accommodated in the path can be increased. Therefore, according to the protector for a wire harness having this configuration, the capacity of the path in the protector can be used to the maximum extent.
The protector for a wire harness having the configuration of the above (3), even in the case where there is one of the electric wires accommodated in the protector passing through the merging position from the first path to the second path (i.e., the electric wire that is not guided to the third path), the electric wire does not enter the communicating portion because the electric wire contacts the partition wall near the merging position. Therefore, the electric wire is not interposed between the electric wire holding portion (intermediate member or the like) and the body portion. Therefore, compared with the case where the communicating portion is present at a position near the merging position (in other words, the intermediate piece of the electric wire holding portion is present at a position near the merging position), damage or the like of the electric wire can be prevented.
According to the protector for a wire harness having the configuration of the above (4), the electric wire holding part can be easily fixed to the body part by rotating the electric wire holding part around the hinge part. Therefore, the workability of the step of accommodating the electric wire in the first path can be improved as compared with the case where the body portion and the electric wire holding portion are separate members that are separated from each other.
Further, in order to achieve the above object, the method for manufacturing a wire harness according to the present invention has the following features (5) to (6).
(5)
A method for manufacturing a wire harness, which is a method for manufacturing a wire harness including a plurality of electric wires and a protector defining a plurality of paths therein, characterized in that:
the protector includes:
a body portion including a first path and a second path as a plurality of paths, the first path and the second path being separated by a partition wall, and further including a first side wall opposite to the partition wall and a second side wall opposite to the partition wall, the first path being interposed between the first side wall and the partition wall, the second path being interposed between the second side wall and the partition wall, and
an electric wire holding portion (12) that includes a holder (41) that can be disposed to pass through an upper side of the first path (31) and extend from the first side wall (21) toward the partition wall (23), an engaging piece (42) that can be disposed to pass through a lower side of the second path (32) and extend from the partition wall (23) toward the second side wall (22), and an intermediate piece (43) that connects the holder (41) and the engaging piece (42) and is fixed to the body portion (11); and
a cover part which covers the body part and the electric wire holding part and which covers the body part and the electric wire holding part
The method for manufacturing a wire harness includes:
the first step is as follows: receiving a first set of wires that are part of a plurality of wires in a first path;
the second step is as follows: holding the first wire group in the first path by the holding piece and fixing the wire holding part to the body part by the engaging piece;
the third step: receiving a second electric wire group as another part of the plurality of electric wires in a second path such that the second electric wire group passes through an upper side of the engaging piece; and
the fourth step: the second wire group is held in the second path by fixing the cover portion to the body portion so as to cover the body portion and the wire holding portion.
(6)
The method for manufacturing a wire harness according to the above (5), wherein
The third step includes a step of mounting the wiring member to the second electric wire group, and a step of disposing the second electric wire group in the second path so that at least a part of the wiring member is positioned in the protector.
According to the method for manufacturing the wire harness having the configuration of the above (5), after a part (the first wire group 71) of the plurality of wires 1 forming the wire harness WH is accommodated in the first path 31 of the protector 1, the wire holding portion 12 is fixed to the protector 10, and thereby the first wire group 71 accommodated in the first path 31 can be held by the holder 41 of the wire holding portion 12 passing through the upper side (the side close to the cover portion) of the first path 31. Therefore, unlike the conventional protector, the electric wire group accommodated in the first path can be held without mounting the cover part to the body part. Further, at this time, since the engaging piece of the electric wire holding portion is disposed to pass through the lower side (the side away from the covering portion) of the second path, the second path is held in a state capable of accommodating the electric wire. In other words, since the first path accommodates and holds the electric wire and the second path is held in a state capable of accommodating the electric wire (the second electric wire group), the wire harness can be moved from one work stage to another work stage during the manufacturing process without mounting the cover part to the body part (i.e., without finally accommodating the electric wire in the protector).
Further, for example, on another work table having a destination, after another part (the second electric wire group) of the plurality of electric wires is accommodated in the second path so as to pass through the upper side of the engaging piece, the cover portion is mounted and fixed to the body portion, and thereby the second electric wire group accommodated in the second path can be held by the cover portion.
In this way, according to the method for manufacturing the wire harness having this configuration, it is not necessary to mount the protector to each work table. Therefore, in the method for manufacturing the wire harness having this configuration, the number of the protectors required for the wire harness can be reduced, as compared with the case where the protector is finally mounted to each work table by the conventional protector.
According to the method for manufacturing the wire harness having the configuration of the above (6), at least a part of the wiring member (e.g., the grommet and the clip, and the tape wound on the electric wire for fixing the grommet and the clip to the electric wire) is positioned in the protector. Therefore, damage to the wiring member can be reduced as compared with the case where the entire wiring member is exposed to the outside of the protector. Further, in the wiring harness routing vehicle or the like, the wiring member and the protector can be fixed to the vehicle or the like. Further, workability in manufacturing the wire harness is improved by integrally handling the wiring member and the protector.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, a protector for a wire harness and a method for manufacturing the wire harness according to the present invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
< example >
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, a protector for a wire harness according to the embodiment (hereinafter referred to as "protector 10") includes a body portion 11, an electric wire holding portion 12, and a cover portion 13. The body portion 11, the electric wire holding portion 12, and the cover portion 13 are formed of a synthetic resin. The protector 10 is attached to an electric wire group that bundles a plurality of electric wires to configure a wire harness. The protector 10 is fixed to a predetermined position of the vehicle, for example. Thus, the wire harness passes through the vehicle body.
The body portion 11 defines a plurality of paths through which electric wires constituting the wire harness can pass. The body portion 11 includes a bottom plate portion 20, a first side wall 21, a second side wall 22, and a partition wall 23. The floor part 20 is formed in a long plate shape, and a first side wall 21 and a second side wall 22 stand upward from side edges of the floor part 20. The partition wall 23 stands upright on a substantially central portion in the width direction of the bottom plate portion 20, and the first side wall 21 and the second side wall 22 are disposed in parallel. The partition wall 23 extends in the longitudinal direction of the bottom plate portion 20 from the one end portion 11a side to halfway to the other end portion 11b of the body portion 11.
The body portion 11 includes a first path 31, a second path 32, and a third path 33 as a plurality of paths through which the electric wires pass (see fig. 4, showing a case where the electric wires are accommodated in each path). The first path 31 and the second path 32 are adjacent to each other, and the third path 33 is provided at a position where the first path 31 and the second path 32 meet, so that the first path 31 and the second path 32 are connected in the longitudinal direction of the body portion 11.
The first path 31 and the second path 32 are divided by a partition wall 23, the partition wall 23 being formed at a substantially central position in the width direction of the body portion 11. Thus, the first side wall 21 is disposed at a position opposite to the partition wall 23 with the first path 31 interposed therebetween, and the second side wall 22 is disposed at a position opposite to the partition wall 23 with the second path 32 interposed therebetween. Further, the partition wall 23 includes a communication portion 24. The communication portion 24 is a portion in which a wall portion of the partition wall 23 is cut out (the wall portion does not exist), and is a portion in which the first path 31 and the second path 32 communicate with each other through the communication portion 24. The communication portion 24 is formed at a position away from the merging position G between the first path 31 and the second path 32 and in the vicinity of the end portion on one side of the third path 33.
The electric wire holding portion 12 is a member for holding an electric wire, and includes a holding piece 41, an engaging piece 42, and an intermediate piece 43. The electric wire holding portion 12 is provided integrally with the body portion 11 (via a hinge portion 44 described later), and can be fixed to the body portion 11 in a state where the electric wire is held. The end portion of the holder 41 of the electric wire holding portion 12 is rotatably connected to the upper edge portion of the first side wall 21 of the body portion 11 via a hinge portion 44. The electric wire holding part 12 includes a holding piece 41, an intermediate piece 43, and an engaging piece 42 in this order from the side of the electric wire holding part 12 connected to the first side wall 21 by the hinge part 44. In other words, the electric wire holding portion 12 is configured such that the holding piece 41 and the engaging piece 42 are connected through the intermediate piece 43.
As shown in fig. 2, the electric wire holding part 12 is accommodated in the body part 11 by rotating about the hinge part 44. In other words, the electric wire holding part 12 is movable from a retracted position (position shown in fig. 1) outside the body part 11 to an attached position (shown in fig. 2 and 3) accommodated in the body part 11 by rotating about the hinge part 44.
The retainer 41 is arranged to extend from the upper end of the first side wall 21 towards the upper end of the partition wall 23 in the attached position (the position shown in figures 2 and 3). Thus, the upper side of the first path 31 formed between the first side wall 21 and the partition wall 23 is covered by the holder 41 of the electric wire holding part 12.
The engaging piece 42 is provided to extend from the lower end of the partition wall 23 toward the lower end of the second side wall 22 in the attached position (the position shown in fig. 2 and 3). Thus, the engaging piece 42 passes through the lower side of the second path 32 formed between the second side wall 22 and the partition wall 23.
Further, in the attached position (the position shown in fig. 2 and 3), the intermediate member 43 is provided to block the communication portion 24 of the partition wall 23.
Referring to fig. 1, the engaging piece 42 includes an engaging portion 45 on an end portion of the engaging piece 42 on the opposite side to the intermediate piece 43. The engaging portion 45 extends from the engaging piece 42 toward the upper end side along the inner surface of the second side wall 22 (see also fig. 3). Further, the engaging portion 45 includes a folded portion 46. In the attached position (the position shown in fig. 2 and 3), the folded portion 46 extends to be folded toward the outer surface side of the second side wall 22 on the upper end of the second side wall 22. An engagement claw 47 is formed on the folded portion 46.
Further, the body portion 11 includes the electric wire holding portion 51 different from the electric wire holding portion 12 on the third path 33 side. The wire holding portion 51 is provided integrally with the body portion 11 (via a hinge portion 52 described later), and is fixed to the body portion 11 in a state of being pulled from the upper end of the first side wall 21 to the upper end of the second side wall 22 in an attachment position (position shown in fig. 2) so as to cover the upper side of the third path 33. One end portion of the electric wire holding portion 51 is rotatably connected to the upper edge portion of the first side wall 21 of the body portion 11 via a hinge portion 52.
As shown in fig. 2, the electric wire holding part 51 is accommodated in the body part 11 by rotating about the hinge part 52. In other words, the electric wire holding part 51 is movable from a retracted position (position shown in fig. 1) outside the body part 11 to an attached position (shown in fig. 2) accommodated in the body part 11 by rotating about the hinge part 52. The electric wire holding part 51 includes an engaging part 53 on the other end side opposite to the one end having the hinge part 52. In the attached position (the position shown in fig. 2), the engaging portion 53 includes a folded portion 54 that extends so as to be folded toward the outer surface side of the second side wall 22, and an engaging claw 55 is formed on the folded portion 54.
Referring to fig. 1, the first side wall 21 constituting the body portion 11 includes an engaging recess 25 and an engaging recess 27 at an upper end thereof, the engaging portion 45 of the wire holding portion 12 is fitted into the engaging recess 25, and the wire holding portion 51 is fitted into the engaging recess 27. Further, the body portion 11 includes an engaging portion 26 and an engaging portion 28, the engaging portion 26 corresponding to the engaging portion 45 of the wire holding portion 12 on the side of the outer surface of the first side wall 21, and the engaging portion 28 corresponding to the engaging portion 53 of the wire holding portion 51 on the outer surface of the first side wall 21. Both end portions of the engaged portions 26, 28 are fixed to the outer surfaces of the first side walls 21, respectively, and the engaged portions 26, 28 have gaps with respect to the outer surfaces of the first side walls 21, respectively. The engaging claw 47 engages the engaged portion 26 by inserting the engaging portion 45 of the wire holding portion 12 into the gap between the engaged portion 26 and the outer surface of the first side wall 21. Further, the engaging claw 55 engages the engaged portion 28 by inserting the engaging portion 53 of the wire holding portion 51 into the gap between the engaged portion 28 and the outer surface of the first side wall 21.
The cover part 13 is attached to an upper part of the body part 11, and is a member for covering the electric wire holding part 12 and the electric wire holding part 51. Cover portion 13 includes an upper plate portion 60, a first side wall 61, and a second side wall 62. The upper plate portion 60 is formed in a long plate shape, and a first side wall 61 and a second side wall 62 extend downward from side edges of the upper plate portion 60. The cover portion 13 is formed such that the interval between the inner surface sides of the first and second side walls 61 and 62 is slightly larger than the width dimension of the body portion 11. Thus, by covering the cover portion 13 on the upper portion of the body portion 11, the upper portion of the body portion 11 enters between the first side wall 61 and the second side wall 62 of the cover portion 13. Thus, the cover portion 13 is attached to the upper portion of the body portion 11, and the upper sides of the third path 33, the second path 32, and the first path 31 of the body portion 11 are blocked by the cover portion 13 (see also a method of manufacturing a wire harness described later).
Next, a wire harness WH including the protector 10 and the plurality of electric wires 1 will be described. Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the protector 10 accommodated in the plurality of electric wires 1 as viewed from above, and the display of the cover portion 13 is omitted for convenience.
As shown in fig. 4, the wire harness WH includes a protector 10 and electric wires 1 held in the protector 10. The plurality of electric wires 1 held in the protector 10 include a first electric wire group 71, a second electric wire group 72, and a third electric wire group 73. The third wire group 73 is a wire group that merges the first wire group 71 and the second wire group 72. In other words, the first and second electric wire groups 71 and 72 are branched from the third electric wire group 73. At least one wire 1a of the wires 1 is routed over the first wire group 71 and the second wire group 72 so as to be guided from the first path 31 to the second path 32 (i.e., not to the third path 33) through the merging position G.
Further, the second electric wire group 72 includes a wiring member 75. In the embodiment, a grommet (grommet)76 fitted to a vehicle body panel or the like and a tape 77 for fixing the grommet 76 to the second wire group 72 (e.g., the wiring member 75) are provided on the second wire group 72. Grommet 76 is secured to second wire set 72 by wrapping strap 77 around second wire set 72 and a portion of grommet 76.
In the protector 10, the first electric wire group 71 as a part of the electric wire 1 is accommodated in the first path 31 of the body portion 11, and the second electric wire group 72 as another part of the electric wire 1 is accommodated in the second path 32 of the body portion 11. Further, in the protector 10, the third electric wire group 73 of the electric wires 1 is accommodated in the third path 33 of the body portion 11. Further, a part of the electric wires 1a wound on the second electric wire group 72 and the first electric wire group 71 is accommodated in the body portion 11 so as to be guided from the first path 31 to the second path 32 through the merging position G.
In this way, the first electric wire group 71 of the electric wires 1 accommodated in the body portion 11 of the protector 10 is held by the holder 41 of the electric wire holding portion 12, and the third electric wire group 73 is held by the electric wire holding portion 51. Further, by attaching the cover part 13 to the body part 11 of the protector 10, the first electric wire group 71, the second electric wire group 72, and the third electric wire group 73 accommodated in the body part 11 are held. Further, the wiring member 75 mounted to the second electric wire group 72 is disposed such that the wound portion of the tape 77 as a part of the wiring member 75 is positioned in the protector 10.
Next, a manufacturing method for manufacturing the wire harness WH having the above-described configuration will be described.
As shown in fig. 5, the body portion 11 of the protector 10 is disposed at a predetermined position on the jig plate, and the electric wire holding portion 12 (the electric wire holding portion 51 not shown) is disposed at a retracted position.
Next, as shown in fig. 6, the first electric wire group 71 is accommodated in the first path 31 of the body portion 11 (first step). Incidentally, at this time, the third electric wire group 73 is accommodated in the third path 33 (not shown) of the body portion 11.
Next, as shown in fig. 7, by rotating toward the inside of the body portion 11 (in the direction of arrow B of fig. 7), the electric wire holding portion 12 is moved to the attachment position in the body portion 11, and the electric wire holding portion 12 is fixed to the body portion 11 by engaging the engaging claws 47 of the engaging portion 45 with the engaged portion 26. Thus, the upper side of the first path 31 is covered by the holder 41 of the electric wire holding portion 12, and the first electric wire group 71 accommodated in the first path 31 is held at the body portion 11 (second step).
Further, the electric wire holding part 51 (not shown) is rotated and moved to the attaching position, and the electric wire holding part 51 is fixed to the body part 11 by engaging the engaging claws 66 of the engaging part 53 with the engaged part 28. Thus, the upper side of the third path 33 is covered with the electric wire holding portion 51, and the third electric wire group 73 accommodated in the third path 33 is held in the body portion 11.
Next, the body portion 11 of the protector 10 is removed from the jig plate, and the body portion 11 is set on another table where the next step is performed. On another work table (in this embodiment, a work table provided with a mounting mechanism for mounting the grommet 76), the wiring member 75 (the grommet 76 and the strap 77) is attached to the second electric wire group 72. Specifically, the grommet 76 is disposed at a predetermined position through the second electric wire group 72, and the tape 77 is wound around the second electric wire group 72 and a portion of the grommet 76. Thus, the wiring member 75 (grommet 76 and tape 77) is fixed to a predetermined position of the second electric wire group 72.
Next, as shown in fig. 8, the second electric wire group 72 mounted with the wiring member 75 is accommodated in the second path 32 of the body portion 11 (third step). Here, when the second group of electric wires 72 to which the wiring member 75 is attached is accommodated in the second path 32 of the body portion 11, the wound portion of the tape 77 that is a part of the wiring member 75 is provided in the second path 32 (see also fig. 4).
Thereafter, as shown in fig. 9, the cover portion 13 is fixed to the body portion 11 such that the cover portion 13 moves from above the body portion 11 to the body portion 11 (in the direction of arrow C in fig. 9), the cover portion 13 is covered on the upper portion of the body portion 11, and the body portion 11 and the electric wire holding portion 12 (and the electric wire holding portion 51 not shown) are covered. Thus, the cover part 13 is attached to the upper part of the body part 11, and the upper sides of the first path 31, the second path 32, and the third path 33 of the body part 11 are blocked by the cover part 13 (fourth step).
According to the above steps, the wire harness WH can be manufactured with the protector 10 attached to the electric wire 1 including the first electric wire group 71, the second electric wire group 72, and the third electric wire group 73.
As described above, according to the protector 10 of the present embodiment, when the portions (the first wire group 71) of the plurality of wires 1 forming the wire harness WH are accommodated in the first path 31 of the protector 10, the first wire group 71 accommodated in the first path 31 can be held by the holder 41 of the wire holding portion 12, and with the wire holding portion 12 fixed to the body portion 11 of the protector 10, the holder 41 passes through the upper side of the first path 31. Therefore, unlike the conventional protector, the first electric wire group 71 accommodated in the first path 31 can be held without mounting the cover part 13 to the body part 11. Further, at this time, since the engaging pieces 42 of the electric wire holding portion 12 are disposed to pass through the lower side of the second path 32, the second path 32 is held in a state (the second electric wire group 72) capable of accommodating the electric wire. In other words, because the first path 31 can accommodate and hold the electric wire (the first electric wire group 71) and the second path 32 is held in a state capable of accommodating the electric wire (the second electric wire group 72), the wire harness WH can be moved from one work stage to another work stage during the manufacturing process without fixing the cover part 13 to the body part 11 (i.e., without having to complete the accommodation of the electric wire 1 to the protector 10).
Thereafter, on another work table having a destination (a work table on which the grommet mounting mechanism is provided), thereafter another part (the second electric-wire group 72) of the plurality of electric wires 1 is accommodated in the second path 32 so as to pass through the upper side of the engaging piece 42, the covering portion 13 is mounted and fixed to the body portion 11, and thereby the second electric-wire group 72 accommodated in the second path 32 is held by the coverable portion 13.
In this way, according to the protector 10 of this embodiment, it is not necessary to finally mount the protector 10 on each work table. Therefore, the number of the protectors 10 required for the wire harness WH can be reduced as compared with the case where the protector is finally mounted to each work bench as in the conventional protector.
Further, according to the protector 10 of this embodiment, a part of the electric wire holding portion (the intermediate piece 43) is provided to block the cut-out portion (the communicating portion 24) formed in the partition wall 23, and the intermediate piece 43 becomes a part of the partition wall 23. Therefore, compared with the case where the communication portion 24 is not present in the partition wall 23 and the entire intermediate member 43 is provided in the path (the first path 31 or the second path 32), the protruding amount of the intermediate member 43 to the paths 31, 32 becomes small, and the capacity of the paths 31, 32 increases. Thus, according to the protector 10, the capacity of the path in the protector 10 can be used to the maximum extent.
Further, according to the protector 10 of the embodiment, even in the case where the electric wires 1a from the first path 31 to the second path 32 through the merging position G exist in the electric wires 1 accommodated in the protector 10, the electric wires 1a do not enter the communicating portions 24 because the electric wires 1a contact the partition wall 23 in the vicinity of the merging position G. Therefore, the electric wire 1a is not interposed between the electric wire holding portion 12 (the intermediate member 43, etc.) and the body portion 11. Therefore, compared with the case where the communicating portion 24 is present at a position near the merging position G (in other words, the intermediate piece 43 of the electric wire holding portion 12 is present at a position near the merging position G), damage or the like of the electric wire 1a can be prevented.
Also, according to the protector 10 of the embodiment, the electric wire holding part 12 can be easily fixed to the body part 11 by rotating the electric wire holding part 12 about the hinge part 44. Therefore, the workability of the step of accommodating the electric wire 1 in the first path 31 can be improved as compared with the case of a separate member in which the body part 11 and the electric wire holding part 12 are separated.
Further, according to the method for manufacturing the wire harness WH of this embodiment, after a part (the first wire group 71) of the plurality of wires 1 forming the wire harness WH is accommodated in the first path 31 of the protector 1, the wire holding portion 12 is fixed to the protector 10, and thereby the first wire group 71 accommodated in the first path 31 can be held by the holder 41 of the wire holding portion 12 passing through the upper side of the first path 31. Therefore, unlike the conventional protector, the first electric wire group 71 accommodated in the first path 31 can be held without mounting the cover part 13 to the body part 11. Further, at this time, since the engaging pieces 42 of the electric wire holding portion 12 are disposed to pass through the lower side of the second path 32, the second path 32 is held in a state (the second electric wire group 72) capable of accommodating the electric wire. In other words, since the first path 31 can accommodate and hold the electric wire (the first electric wire group 71) and the second path 32 is held in a state of accommodating the electric wire (the second electric wire group 72), the wire harness WH can be moved from one work station to another work station without mounting the cover 13 to the body portion 11 (i.e., without having to complete the accommodation of the electric wire 1 to the protector 10) in the manufacturing process.
Thereafter, on another work table having a destination (a work table on which the grommet mounting mechanism is provided), after another part (the second electric-wire group 72) of the plurality of electric wires 1 is accommodated in the second path 32 so as to pass through the upper side of the engaging piece 42, the covering portion 13 is mounted and fixed to the body portion 11, and thereby the second electric-wire group 72 accommodated in the second path 32 is held by the coverable portion 13.
In this way, according to the method for manufacturing the wire harness WH of this embodiment, it is not necessary to finish mounting the protector 10 on each work stage. Therefore, the wire harness WH can be manufactured in a state in which the number of the protectors 10 required for the wire harness WH can be reduced, as compared with a case in which mounting of the protector to each work stage is completed by using a conventional protector.
Further, according to the method for manufacturing the wire harness WH of this embodiment, the strap 77 (which is at least a part of the wiring member 75 including the grommet 76 and the strap 77) is positioned in the protector 10. Therefore, damage to the wiring member 75 can be reduced as compared with the case where the entire wiring member 75 is exposed to the outside of the protector 10. Further, in wiring the harness WH to run a vehicle or the like, the wiring member 75 and the protector 10 may be fixed to the vehicle or the like. Further, the workability in manufacturing the wire harness WH is improved by integrally handling the wiring member 75 and the protector 10. Occasionally, the wiring member 75 is not limited to the grommet 76 or the strap 77, and may be fixed to a clip or the like of the electric wire 1.
Next, a modified example of the protector 10 will be described.
Occasionally, the same reference numerals are given to portions having the same configurations as those in the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.
< modification 1>
As shown in fig. 10, a protector 10A according to modification 1 includes a body portion 11A, and three paths 81 to 83 are provided in parallel on the body portion 11A. Further, the protector 10A includes an electric wire holding portion 12A, a central portion of which protrudes downward and is formed in a concave shape.
In the protector 10A according to modification 1, after the group of electric wires is accommodated in the paths 81, 83 at both sides of the body portion 11A, the group of electric wires accommodated in the paths 81, 83 can be held in the body portion 11A by fixing the wire holding portion 12A to the body portion 11A. Therefore, in a state where the electric wire group is held to be accommodated in the paths 81, 83, the wire harness WH can be moved from one work stage to another work stage without fixing the cover portion 13 to the body portion 11A during the manufacturing process. Further, after holding the electric wire group in the paths 81, 83, the electric wire group is accommodated in the path 82 and the cover portion 13 is attached to the body portion 11A, and the electric wire group accommodated in the path 82 can thereby be held.
< modification 2>
As shown in fig. 11, the protector 10B according to the modification 2 includes a body portion 11B on which three paths 91 to 93 are provided in parallel. Further, the protector 10B includes an electric wire holding portion 12B, a side of which opposite to the hinge portion 44 is protruded downward and formed in a concave shape.
In the protector 10B according to modification 2, after the electric wire group is accommodated in the path 91 on the hinge part 44 side and in the central path 92 of the body part 11B, the electric wire group accommodated in the paths 91, 92 is held in the body part 11B by fixing the electric wire holding part 12B to the body part 11B. Therefore, in a state where the electric wire group is held to be accommodated in the paths 91, 92, the wire harness WH can be moved from one work stage to another work stage in the manufacturing process without fixing the cover portion 13 to the body portion 11B. Further, after holding the wire group in the paths 91, 92, the wire group is accommodated in the path 93 and the cover part 13 is attached to the body part 11B, and the wire group accommodated in the path 93 can thereby be held.
The present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments, and various modifications may be adopted within the scope of the present invention. For example, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but may be appropriately changed, improved, and the like. In addition, materials, shapes, sizes, numbers, arrangement positions, and the like of constituent elements in the above-described embodiments are optional as long as the present invention can be realized, and are not limited.
For example, in each of the embodiments described above, the protector 10 includes the body portion 11 and the cover portion 13 that are separated, respectively. However, the protector 10 may be configured to have an integrated configuration in which the body portion 11 and the cover portion 13 are connected by a hinge or the like. Further, in the embodiment as described above, the body portion 11 and the electric wire holding portion 12 are connected by the hinge portion 44. However, the electric wire holding portion 12 may be configured as a separate member from the body portion 11. In this case, an engaging portion and an engaged portion for engaging the holder 41 of the electric wire holding portion 12 with the first side wall 21 of the body portion 11 may be provided on the holder 41 and the first side wall 21.
